Fails WP:NMUSIC. A somewhat promotional article, being entirely sourced by a band website and their record label -- both primary sources -- does not help make a case of passing WP:GNG. This has been tagged for notability for nine years and I think it is about time we come to a decision on the notability (or lack thereof) of this group.

Delete. First of all, poor sourcing in an article has no bearing on notability. You need to follow WP:BEFORE to try to identify any coverage that exists. A quick Google search found these: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Personally I don't feel the coverage that exists is sufficient to justify an article, or that it demonstrates sufficient significance for inclusion. --Michig (talk) 08:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree that the sources identified by Michig--plus those I searched for myself--are fairly run-of-the-mill, small time and insignificant. Getting press for the sake of getting press does not equal notability. The article appears to be original research by an SPA editor wishing to promote subjects for which he/she has an interest. TheGracefulSlick, you may want to consider AfD nominating the editor's other articles, which are of similar promotional bent with only small time/insignificant coverage (I'm a bit too "code writing deficient" to know how to do it myself) ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
